Abandoned shopping carts are a nuisance, create safety hazards, cause blight, and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. You can help reduce these hazards by reporting abandoned shopping carts in the City of Corona.

Questions and Answers

How do shopping carts get abandoned, anyway?People “borrow” them. But people should know that removing carts from a store’s parking lot – or even possessing a cart without the store’s permission – is illegal and subject to a substantial fine.

What can residents do?
First, don’t be part of the problem. There are many personal carts available, and most are inexpensive – much less than the potential fine for taking a store cart.

What can you do if you see an abandoned cart?
To report abandoned shopping carts, please call California Cart Retrieval at (800) 252-4613, or complete an Online Service Request.
